Open the bonnet and ensure it is securely supported. Remove the complete bulb holder with the position light bulb (T10 W5W model), replace the original incandescent bulb with an LED bulb (easily available in the aftermarket), and reinstall the bulb holder.

It is important to choose the appropriate LED bulb to install and look for one with an electrical resistance value comparable to the original incandescent bulb to avoid triggering the warning light for faulty lights on the dashboard or needing to add a resistor to the bulb itself.

Once the new LED bulb is installed, check its correct operation.
